Building a Foundation Stack for General-Purpose Robots

This article is brought to you by X Square Robot . Large language models gave artificial intelligence a working recipe. Pretrain a large model on broad data, and general capability follows. Robotics has no such recipe. Robotics systems have long been assembled from separate perception, planning, and control parts that rarely add up to intelligence a robot can carry from one task to another, or one machine to another. The central problem in embodied AI is to find the equivalent recipe, and the field does not yet agree on what it is. X Square Robot , a Chinese embodied-AI company, has made an unusually explicit bet. It argues that the recipe is an integrated stack, spanning the data a robot learns from, a world model for predicting changes in the physical world, and an action model that brings together perception, planning, reasoning, and decision-making to generate executable robot behavi

Nokia’s 14 Years of Mobile-Phone Supremacy Ended in an Afternoon

In 2005, Nokia sold its billionth mobile phone , a budget-friendly device that went to a customer in Nigeria. By then, the company, based in Espoo, Finland, was making one of every three cellphones globally. But just nine years later, the mobile-device maker offloaded its entire handset division to Microsoft for pennies on the dollar, compared to what it had been worth at its peak. Nokia had risen from obscurity in the 1990s to become a worldwide cultural phenomenon by the turn of the millennium, its signature devices featured in TV shows and movies, announcing their presence with instantly recognizable Nokia ringtones . As Nokia was becoming comfortable in the spotlight, the smartphone era arrived. And what came next was swift and brutal. But, as revealed in Nokia internal documents recently made public and interviews with key Nokia engineers from that era, the company saw it coming. Wi

Panasonic’s PV-460 Camcorder Stabilized Shaky Videos

If you grew up in the 1980s or ’90s, you likely remember shaky home video footage, taken with a handheld camcorder , of family gatherings, vacations, and other events. Camcorders combined a camera with a video recorder . They included a rechargeable battery, a slot for a videotape, and a shoulder strap. Most were outfitted with an optical zoom lens and a small, articulating screen—a display mounted on a hinge that could tilt and rotate. The operator could check the screen to view what was being recorded. The user’s natural hand and body movements when filming led to jittery footage. The best way to get a steady shot was to place the camcorder on a tripod or a gimbal: a motorized stabilizer. There were fewer poor-quality recordings after Panasonic introduced its PV-460 VHS camcorder in 1988. It was the first video camera to include an optical image stabilizer, which compensated for moveme

Smart tech improving traffic flow on Tennyson Road, Winton Avenue/D Street New adaptive traffic signal timing technology is showing positive results by improving traffic flow within posted speed limits on stretches of Tennyson Road and Winton Avenue/D Street. The smart tech—installed through a Transportation Fund for Clean Air grant from the Bay Area Quality Management District—dynamically adjusts traffic-signal patterns in real-time based on current traffic demands. The technology was deployed to ease traffic congestion along Tennyson Road (Sleepy Hollow Avenue to Dixon Street) in May 2025 and Winton Avenue/D Street (Santa Clara Street to Atherton Street) in November 2025 along with related infrastructure updates. On Tennyson Road, westbound traffic flow improved 43 percent in the morning (from 16 miles per hour to 22 mph) and 28 percent in the afternoon. Eastbound flow improved 20 perc
